This anti-bush soldier might be in a little bit of trouble, huh?
BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Airman suspect in anti-Bush case:
A US air force reserve colonel may face charges of defacing cars bearing bumper stickers in support of President Bush.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexis Fecteau is suspected of painting obscenities on 12 parked cars at Denver International Airport over a six-month period.
Police allege he blacked out the stickers and then spray-painted expletives on the vehicles.
Allegedly, Lieutenant Colonel Fecteau is suspected of vandalising 12 cars at the airport.
Most of the soldiers I talk to don’t like or appreciate the fake support of those little ribbons and bumper stickers, but I think this guy may have gone a little bit over the line legally.
Kudos to him for finding some way to vent his frustration on the idiot bumper sticker warriors of the GOP without actually bitch-slapping them. (They deserve that, at the very least, IMHO)
Like the stain the sticker leaves on your car will ever compare to the stain of a soldier’s blood on the desert sand?
False patriots…
Every stinking hypocritical one of you!
With the disposable way some of you treat soldiers just to fill a tank of gas, can you blame a soldier for getting mad at you?

But I’ve heard that there are naughty people Out There who have been applying superglue (or somesuch chemical) to the backs of Real Americans’ magnet ribbons–so they can’t be removed without ruining the paint job.
I heard that too… (Sound rovian enough?)
Also, apparently some people are changing the slogans on those ribbons before they super glue them?
It must be a tough decision to rip a ribbon that has been super glued off of your car that has had its slogan changed to “Fuck the soldiers, I want their oil” OR “Save a soldier, BLOW UP THIS SUV!”.
Ahhhh, those little dilemas… Should I or shouldn’t I?
I think the ribbons are a disgrace and would never put one on my car. Fortunately for the people around my town I have too many things to do already, so I don’t have time for some vandalism. (Also, I kindof don’t want to get arrested… lol)
